Ukraine-Russia war latest: Moscow warns foreign citizens to leave Kyiv after threatening more revenge attacks

Russia ordered foreign citizens to evacuate Kyiv following a large-scale attack on Sunday, which included 600 drones and 90 missiles, resulting in at least four deaths and over 80 injuries. Moscow claimed the assault was retaliation for a drone strike on a Kyiv student dormitory on Friday, which killed 21 people, though Ukraine denied responsibility. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on world leaders to apply preventive pressure on Russia to prevent further escalation. The attack used an Oreshnik hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile, part of a coordinated strike targeting Kyiv’s infrastructure. Meanwhile, Russia’s Kremlin warned Armenia that it could lose preferential gas pricing if it shifts away from Moscow, despite Armenia’s efforts to strengthen ties with the European Union. Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan reaffirmed the country’s intent to maintain normal relations with Russia. In another development, the Czech government proposed stricter rules for Ukrainian refugees, citing abuse of aid and public perception of unfair advantages over locals. The move reflects political tensions within the populist coalition, which includes far-right parties opposing immigration. Separately, Russian media reported finding magnetic mines on a tanker, the Arrhenius, docked at the Baltic Sea port of Ust-Luga after arriving from Belgium’s Antwerp. Russia’s threats of further strikes on Kyiv follow weeks of escalating violence, with both sides exchanging accusations over attacks on civilian and military targets. Zelensky emphasized the need for immediate international action to deter Moscow, while EU foreign ministers are set to discuss increased pressure on Russia in an upcoming meeting.
